With its bleak urban environments, psychologically compelling
heroes and socially engaged plots, Scandinavian crime writing has
captured the imaginations of a global audience in the 21st century.
Exploring the genre's key themes, international impact and
socio-political contexts, Scandinavian Crime Fiction guides readers
through such key texts as Sjoewall and Wahloeoe's Novel of a Crime,
Gunnar Staalesen's Varg Veum series, Peter Hoeg's Miss Smilla's
Feeling for Snow, Henning Mankell's Wallander books, Stieg
Larsson's Millennium trilogy and TV series such as The Killing.
With its focus on the function of crime fiction in both reflecting
and shaping the late-modern Scandinavian welfare societies, this
book is essential for readers, viewers and fans of contemporary
crime writing.
